Pretty fun to kayak to. There is no beach but you can check out tiny fish and hermit crabs while ‘snorkeling’ around the mangroves.
Other than that, it’s just a pretty little island with some history.

What they said. It’s an archaeological site with lots of plaques. It’s a ruined city, overgrown by subtropical plants. It’s an island accessible only by boat. It’s got a big observation tower. If this does not make you want to rent a kayak and get over here, I just don’t know what to do with you.
[Much more info available in this duplicate review (
). All of this said, it won’t take that long to peruse everything the island has to offer. If you have a few hours, combine it with a trip to Lignumvitae Key.]

Today it’s largely overgrown, though the state has maintained a few of the «streets» and there are some plaques detailing the events surrounding the assault. As with some other spots in the Keys, it requires a little imagination to recreate the importance of this tiny key.
It’s not a large key but it’s a nice short paddle from Robbie’s unless the wind is blowing hard. Watch the tide, especially in the channel. There’s also a dock for larger boats.

Indian Key State Historic Site, MM 77.5 oceanside. Accessible by boat, this island once housed the largest population between St. Augustine and Key West. In 1840, during the Second Seminole War, Indian warriors paddled to the island, killed most of the residents and burned the island structures to the ground.
